An Explanation of the 10 per cent Entrance
Fee

Fee.
AS there is some misunderstanding il
regard to the 10 per cent entrance fee etc
in our premium list, perhaps it will bt
| wise to explain. Our stock premiums
are increased so per cent over last year
They are the same for all similar classes
Shorthorn cattle get no more than Ayr.
shire.
While Shorthorn men make five and
six entries of each kind, Ayrshire makes
but one and sometimes two. Should the
Ayrshire cattle have just as much money
| with their small entries that the Short
horns do? This is only an illustration.
To obviate any unfairness it was thought
best to require three entries to be made.
If but two entries are made the 3rd en-
| trance fee Is deducted from the LIST and
End premium pro rata. IL only one en-
try is made, two entrance fees win be
deducted from the LIST premium if that is
the premium awarded. As there will be
no competition this is actually better than
only one entrance money paid by each
exhibitor and take his chances among
five or six competitors, as "a bird in the
hand is worth two in the BUSH" If one
exhibit only is made the premium is still
twenty per cent greater than any pre-
vious year,
If three entries are made the premium
is thirty per cent increase by the Society;
the thirty per cent of the first premium
being about twenty per cent of both
premiums.
1t is still the object of the Board to
build and maintain the Agricultural So
ciety on actual exhibits and the pre-
miums have been increased each year to
keep pace with the growth of the Fair
Already there. are indications that we
will have to build more cattle sheds and
perhaps horse stalls also, to accommodate
promised exhibitions.
Our County Fair ls already pronounced
in tho lead of all similar societies in the
State for quality and still we think it has
not any where near reached its zenith
which can easily be proven If each and
every citizen will make as large q display |
with his stock, vegetables, fruit etc. ETC. |
as he might.

If Kent possessed as good Jail as
Ravenna we wouldn't say a word
Kent News.
We are not aware that anyone has
found fault with Ravenna's Jail. In
deed, we feel rather proud of it. 1t is
finely ventilated, neat, strong and
convenient, is located in the corner of
the room of the Fire Department. and
resembles medium sized crockery
crate. Its sanitary condition is SAID
to be first class. 1t is Portage County's
Jail which hes SO often been declared
a nuisance by Grand Juries and the
Board of Health, and which requires
q strong guard to keep prisoners from
escaping, with any degree of certainty.

About three weeks ago a.man came
from Gerry, Pa, and engaged as porter
at the Etna House, and was followed
a few days later by his wife. who also
obtained employment as servant in
the same house. Their actions soon
aroused the suspicious of Mr.. Ward,
the landlord, and when the account of
the robbery of the house of Prof. A.
Nicholson, in Cleveland. was publish
ed in the papers of that city, the cook
at the Etna recognized the woman as
Mary Odell, one of the servants who
was suspected of the Michelsen larceny
and who had married a coachman
named Farley, and skipped" Mayor
Holcomb was notified, who, with his
usual promptness, ordered the parties
arrested aud notified the Cleveland
officers to come and get the prisoners.
Many of the stolen goods were found
in their possession, and they afterward
confessed their guilt. They were taken
to Cleveland, where they are held on
the charge of grand larceny.

FARE w ELL.

We part, dear friends, tits best; forget that we
are parted;
Feel that we are still walking side by side;
These sad farewells at first have left us broken
hearted,
But still our WORK is one; a work that is
worldwide.
Our hope is one in Christ; our faith. our love
is hlended;
We cannot see thy face, for mortal sight is
dim;
Yet we are. must be. near. Are we not Christ
befriended?
Can we be far from each. yet near in love to
Him
Tears how between the last sad0cho of our
voices,
We should noe grievs at this. or lightly ques-
tion how;
We, and our wills are His; he who obeys re
In that biest faith of love, that only Knows to
bow.
FAREWELL then desrest friends, wen meet on
Sabbath morning.
When the joy bells ring out to summon US to
come,
We shall not meet to sob-tears are for pain
and mourning;
Smiles and hand clasps make glad the child
that reaches home.

New England Moss Gatherer..

The granite rocks of the New England
coast, far from being uniformly bare and
stern, are draped with the most beautiful
and luxuriant alge, of innumerable spe-
cies. Probably no other district in Amer
lea yields such quantities of Irish moss as
do the shores of Cohasset and Scituate,
Mass. The Irish mss has more than a
picturesque value. 1t possesses well
known medicinal virtues, is manufac-
tured into a nutritious food for invalids,
and is also used in certain processes Of
brewing. The gathering of the moss,
therefore, forms quite an important in
dustry along the New England coast.
The season begins toward The end of
May and lasts until October. The time
of beginning and that of ending the har-
vest are observed by the gatherers with
scrupulous punctuality. in order that
none may ''get ahead" Of the Others, but
all, old and young. may have an equal
chance. The mos is detached by means
of long toothed rakes, the men GO
ing out for il in boats. while the women
and children strip the rocks and stones
along shore. The moss is bleached on the
sand, put through half a dozen washings
and dried for two weeks. 1t is then
ready for market, and the fisherfolk re-
ceive from four to even cents per pound
for the product of their pictureque in
dustry.-Frank Leslie's.

Mayalrs Photographic Discovery.

The Photographic as well as the daily
press of England seems now 10 be much
exercised over the ''NIayall process, al
though il claims nothing more than to
be the means by which photographs may
be rapidly colored by those who need not
have great artistic ability.
An outline of his method may serve to
give some idea Of its merits. Ii will
probably, like many of lis predecessors,
meet with a wide appreciation in certain
Photographic circles, at least for a time.
The negatives, made on orthochromatic
plates, are not ~retouched. In order to
obtain the best results a solar camera
print is made, toned and fixed in the
usual manner. The print, after leaving
the hypo bath, is subjected to the action
Of solution, which transforms the silver
forming the image into silver oxide, and
at the same time entirely eliminates the
hypo by chemical action. The colOrs
used in the tinting are entirely new lal-
bumen probably, and form part of Mr..
Mayall's discovery. They are beautifully
transparent. and when applied to the
surface Of the print unite with the image,
forming a colored silver compound, which
there is good reason TO believe is abso-
lutely permanent. The print is then
placed face upwards in an air tight box.

COMMERCIAL UNION WITH CANADA.

The people of Manitoba are steadily
building the Red River Valley rail-
road. and, Notwithstanding the oppo-
siIion of the Dominion government,
the road will undoubtedly reach Min
nesota. What are the Manitobians
after? They have rail communication
with the east. and yet they are reach.
ing out 10 the south. Two things
they probably want; cheaper freights
TO Europe, wider markets than those
OF Ontario and Quebec. The first
they will get by connection with the
Northern Pacific. w are informed
that a large part of the traffic expected
by tina. road will he bonded freight
for expectation. Naturally the Cana
dian Pacific objects to this interfer.
ence with It's monopoly. On the
other hand the Manitoba farmers OBJ

But increased railroad facilities be-

also mean a quickened trade between
those sections. Aud this will before
long raise the question Of tariff. 10
many paris Of Canada there Is a grow
ing feeling in favor of breaking down
the tariff wall between the dominion
aud the states. That would open a
wider market Il both countries, and il
is thought. would increase the wealth
of each. In nOta few quarters that
feeling has g,ne so far n To favor ab-
solute annexation. A commercial
union between the United States aud
Canada must take Que OF two forms,
II must be an absolute Z,llverin, al.
lowing free trade between the two
countries, hut requiring iden zeal du.
ties a.. against other nations foreign tn
each other; or IL must BE- u reciprocity
treaty, simply removing the duties
from certain articles both ways. or
course there are many difficulties in
the way Of each. Some Bs.ert that
identical duties are imprscticablr
without political union. No,a few
Canadians think that the death Of
Victoria will sever the connection of
the DoniIion with England, and that
either n Canadian republic or annex
alton To the United States will follow.
Certainly the interests Of Manitoba
are more closely united with those of
Minnesota than with those of east, RI
Canada. Minnesota, Manitoba and
Dakota are practically n except for
certain imaginary lines, and for ad-
ministrative agencies necessarily dit
ferent. An extension Of ouri trade
north would mean an extension of our
wealth. Develop ment north or south
Of the line would mean development
on the other side. Under these cir
cumstance 1t would surely be well for
all sides of n subject confessedly many
sided to be canvassed thoroughly by
the people Of both countries. Do the
people Of the northwest wish a com.
mercial union or & treaty Of reciprocity
with the Canadian northwest? How
would 1t affect our trade and indus
tries? Are our representatives In
Congress prepared intelligently 10 dis
cu-s the Butterworth reciprocity bill,
IL 1t should be brought forward again
this winter, rs 1t probably will ?
These are grave questions. and il il
